An attempt to geometrize electromagnetism
2018
Open Physics
This study investigates the curved worldline of a charged particle accelerated by an electromagnetic field in flat spacetime. A new metric, which dependes on the charge-to-mass ratio and electromagnetic potential, is proposed to describe the curve characteristic of the world-line. The main result of this paper is that an equivalent equation of the Lorentz equation of motion is put forward based on a 4-dimensional Riemannian manifold defined by the metric. Using the Ricci rotation coefficients,

... he equivalent equation is self-consistently constructed. Additionally, the Lorentz equation of motion in the non-inertial reference frames is studied with the local Lorentz covariance of the equivalent equation. The model attempts to geometrize classical electromagnetism in the absence of the other interactions, and it is conducive to the establishment of the unified theory between electromagnetism and gravitation.
Smart Skin and Actuators for Morphing Structures
2014
Procedia IUTAM
Morphing technology on aircrafts has found increased interest over the last decade because it is likely to enhance performance and efficiency over a wider range of flight conditions. The key technologies in morphing aircrafts include adaptive structures, deformable smart skin, driving actuators, flight dynamics and flight control. Among them, the deformable smart skin and light-weight driving actuators have been the main obstacles to the real-world implementation of the morphing aircraft. The

... fficulties in the smart skin rest on the contradiction between its ability to resist aerodynamic load in the normal direction and the in-plane flexibility for morphing functions. This contradiction cannot be solved by using sophisticated properties of the skin materials. It can only be solved by new skin structures, which give anisotropic stiffness for bending and in-plane deformation. In this article two skin structures for morphing aircrafts, the wavy skin structure and the honeycomb skin structure, are introduced. The actuators for morphing aircrafts are required to have large stroke, large output force, good compactness, and good controllability. In this article, piezoelectric-hydraulic actuators are introduced.

Dislocation Nucleation at a Surface Step by a Multiscale Approach
2004
Materials Research Society Symposium Proceedings
Nucleation of a <111> screw dislocation at a step from a {112} surface of tantalum has been studied by a multiscale approach. The profile of the dislocation, represented by the relative displacement between two adjacent atomic layers along the slip plane, is solved based on the variational boundary integral formulation of the Peierls-Nabarro dislocation model, in which the interatomic potential is incorporated based on atomic calculations of generalized stacking fault energies. The results show

... that the atomic scale step significantly facilitates dislocation nucleation from the surface. The results from all atom calculations are also presented to corroborate the results obtained by this multiscale approach.

Nanoparticles as Drug Delivery Systems of RNAi in Cancer Therapy
2021
Molecules
RNA interference (RNAi) can mediate gene-silencing by knocking down the expression of a target gene via cellular machinery with much higher efficiency in contrast to other antisense-based approaches which represents an emerging therapeutic strategy for combating cancer. Distinct characters of nanoparticles, such as distinctive size, are fundamental for the efficient delivery of RNAi therapeutics, allowing for higher targeting and safety. In this review, we present the mechanism of RNAi and

Trade-offs in Meter Deployment for Distribution Network State Estimation Considering Measurement Uncertainty
2019
IEEE Access
Future power distribution networks are characterized by changes of uncertain behavior due to the integration of distributed generators (DG) and prosumers, and the design of meter deployment is more critical for the safe and effective network monitoring system. The use of any available and the newly installed metering devices such as micro phasor measurement units (µPMU) and smart meters (SM), could offer much accurate and real-time measuring data. This paper investigates a novel meter

... method for the distribution network planning, with the objective of ensuring the quality of the state estimation (SE) under consideration of measurement uncertainty, while keeping the total amount of heterogeneous meters at a minimum. In particular, the measurement uncertainty in the SE is depicted via the interval arithmetic (IA) theory, which could offer advantageous over the existing probabilistic and fuzzy approaches. The case studies and comparison results based on an actual distribution network demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed IA-based SE algorithm and the meter deployment method.

CIDE: An Integrated Development Environment for Microservices
2016
2016 IEEE International Conference on Services Computing (SCC)
Microservices is a flexible architectural style that has many advantages over the alternative monolithic style. These include better performance and scalability. It is particularly suitable, and widely adopted, for cloud-based applications, because in this architecture a software system consisting of a large suite of services of fine granularity, each running its own process and communicating with the others. However, programming such systems is more complex. In this paper we report on CIDE, an

... integrated software development environment that helps with this. CIDE supports programming in a novel agent-oriented language called CAOPLE and tests their execution in a cluster environment. We present the architecture of CIDE, discuss its design based on the principles of the DevOps software development methodology, and describe facilities that support continuous testing and seamless integration, two other advantages of Microservices.
Minimally invasive unicompartmental knee replacement: Midterm clinical outcome
2017
PLoS ONE
Objective The purpose of this study was to explore the midterm clinical outcomes of unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR) for medial knee arthropathy through a minimally invasive approach (MIA). Methods , 442 consecutive patients (485 knees) were included in the study. All patients underwent MIA-UKR with the mobile bearing Oxford phrase III prosthesis. The incision was made starting 1 cm medial to the medial pole of the patella and extending distally to the tibial tubercle. Radiographic

... tions include femorotibial angle (FTA) from coronal x-rays and rectified varus deformity angle, while clinical evaluations included Knee Society Score (KSS, clinical score and function score), the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) osteoarthritis index and visual analog scale (VAS) for pain. Patients followed-up at 1, 3, 6, 12 months after surgery and each year thereafter. Results Four hundreds and two patients completed the entire follow-up, 40 patients (45 knees) were lost to follow-up. The average follow-up time was 73.0 ± 1.9 months. The mean length of the incisions was 5.0 ± 0.2 cm. The average FTA decreased from 183.6˚± 5.1˚preoperatively to 174.3˚± 4.2˚postoperatively, and the mean rectified varus deformity angle was 9.3˚± 1.2˚. The KSS clinical score improved from 42.4 ± 2.9 to 92.9 ± 3.8, and the function score improved from 53.5 ± 3.8 to 93.5 ± 4.0. The WOMAC score improved from 47.5 ± 3.1 preoperatively to 12.3 ± 1.5 at the last evaluation. The VAS dropped from 7.8 ± 1.9 preoperatively to 1.6 ± 0.2 postoperatively. All clinical evaluations (KSS, WOMAC, VAS) were significantly different (p < 0.05) from pre and post-operative evaluations. The survival rate was 99.1% at 73 months, and the revision rate was 0.9%. Conclusion The midterm clinical outcomes of MIA-UKR are satisfactory in a Chinese patient population, which is a good surgical option for patients with medial arthropathy of the knee. However, longer-term follow-up studies should be performed in these patients.
CAOPLE: A Programming Language for Microservices SaaS
2016
2016 IEEE Symposium on Service-Oriented System Engineering (SOSE)
The microservices architecture is widely regarded as a promising approach to service-oriented systems. However, developing applications in the microservices architecture presents three main challenges: (a) how to program systems that consists of a large number of services running in parallel and distributed over a cluster of computers; (b) how to reduce the communication overhead caused by executing a large number of small services; (c) how to support the flexible deployment of services to a
